A boutique hotel on Havana’s semi-ruined sea drive, the Terral looks across the water at Florida and compares notes. Despite being built (and run) by the Office of the City Historian, the hotel is not historic. On the contrary, its 14 ocean-facing rooms are chic, clean lined and minimalist. A sinuous glass-fronted cafe-bar downstairs offers inviting sofas and great coffee.
